Synopsis

Everyone is watching the world end as Eureka reflects on how people have taught her everything she knows, most importantly love. She wants nothing more than to see Renton and the kids again, and be a family with them, but if that means the planet dies in the process then she knows what she'll do. Holland and the Captain talk a little bit. Holland notices a bandage on the Captain's hand, which he explains is from one of the Agehans who went psychotic when his crew picked them up. while they have no answer for Dewey doing what he did, the Captain still wants to look after the agehans as part of his own personal atonement. Holland says he will carry the burden of Dewey's crimes over his shoulders for the rest of his life as part for his failure to understand and save his brother from his madness. After carefully stuying them, it is discovered that the collars Eureka and Anemone wore were designed to stop either of the girls from becoming the new Scub Command Center. Anemone figures that Eureka is fighting the impulse to become the next Command Center. Meanwhile, Renton and the kids are saddened that Eureka is gone. Talho coms in to check on them and gives the kids a hug to comfort them. Holland orders Renton to get up on his feet, but Renton says he failed to protect Eureka. Holland grabs him by the collar and pulls him up and berates him further, but Renton doesn't listen because he still feels guilt for not doing enough to protect Eureka. Holland then orders him to get in gear because they are going to go see Eureka.

After changing into new clothes, Renton is taken to the bridge by Holland and Talho notes that he's grown up. The Gekko takes off to where the new Scub Command Center is forming. Renton and the kids try to get and send a signal through the Compatic Drive, but no avail. While holding Charles' ring, Renton repeats his father's line "Don't beg, ask for it or you won't do it"> Holland grins that that line was always meant for Renton. The Izumo's crew watches the Gekko take off, and Anemone wishes she had a boyfriend who would do all that for her, and the Captain reminds her that she has Dominic. She laughs and says that's true, and holds hands with Dominic, whom she says is cuter than Renton is. The Gekko knows it will take a distressing length of time to get to Eureka and there is a mass of antibodies around the Command Center. Renton tells Holland to put him in but Holland reminds hm they've all grown up so he should have faith in the Gekko. The kids are doing their best to get a signal from Eureka, but they still haven't received a response from her. Renton gives Maurice an envelope because he has a plan and asks him to look out for the others. Renton says he will use the Amita Drive to get a better signal, and Maurice asks if Nirvash answered him, which Renton says yes. Maurice then gives Renton a flower hair clip to give to Eureka and for good luck.

Moondoggie's starting to show the strain of piloting against the Antibodies, but Holland tells him to deal with it because the fate of the world is riding with them. On the hanger, Renton remembers how he first met Eureka and all he's gone through with her. He begs Nirvash to help him reach Eureka because he doesn't want things with her to end like this. He grabs the Compatic Drive and there is an explosion, which shakes the entire ship. When everyone looks on the screen, they see that the Nirvash has evolved, and the kids see the Compatic Drive flashing Renton's name on it. Holland asks what has happened, but Renton has no idea why Nirvash evolved other than it reacted to his feelings. The kids pipe up and say that only their papa can save their mama. Holland says it's just like Renton to graduate without consent. The Nirvash launches, and easily destroys the Antibodies with a single beam. The crew comments on how much Renton has grown up. The Nirvash attempts to bust through the Zone, but is restrained by the force of it. Renton remembers everything he has gone through with Eureka, and his desire to save her drives him to finally smash through the Zone and reaches her. He tells her not say goodbye to him and go off alone, and she is overjoyed that he really came ot save her. He reminds her of his promise to be with her forever. She tells him that she can't go back, but he tells her that she is making a choice and so is he; he has chosen to live with her, even if he can no longer be human. He puts the flower hair clip in her hair and asks her to merg with the Scub Coral with him, and she agrees because she can do anything with him. They finally share their first kiss. The Compatic Drive reads 'Renton and Eureka' in a heart shape, and the Command Center begins to break apart by the Nirvash and sends a rainbow-colored light with a heart shape into the moon. Nirvash ejects Renton and Eureka, and tells them that the Scub Coral has found enlightment. It tells them to set an example for the rest of the world and live together, and the Coral will return until all are one before vanishing in a bright light. After bidding farewell to Nirvash, Renton and Eureka decide to return to Earth together and kiss again as they land on the planet. The Gekko wonders what happened, and Gonzy explains that that was the Second Summer of Love and vanishes, revealing he was a Coralian as well. Holland and talho know this means Renton has decided to become one of them - a true hero like his father.

A year later, the kids are living with Axel and are having breakfast. Axel looks over the Thurston family record book and sees the section that lists Eureka and the kids with Renton's last name. Maurice asks if they are a bother, but he says no because they are techinically family. As they take a walk, they go up the hill to see the moon with Renton and Eureka's names on it. Maeter suggests they pray for the two of them to return home safely. Axel asks Renton to hurry back home because his kids miss him. Elsewhere, Anemone and Dominic are camping and looking at the moon. In a forest, Renton and Eureka are seen by a lake, holding hands, and the final scene shows a new kind of Earth with a circke of coral around it.

Trivia

• The name of this episode is a reference to "When You Wish Upon a Star" by The Drummonds.
• Although Norb was on the Gekko at the same time that the old man (Gonzy) was, he doesn't say anything about Gonzy, so it's impossible to know if Norb knew about Gonzy's identity.
• Renton is the first person to quit the Gekkostate.
• The episode confirmed that the show is based 10,000 years in the future, since the Thurston family register has the date April 2, 12006. April 2, 2006 was the date that the episode aired in Japan.
• The children acknowledge Renton as their father.
• The Nirvash evolved into its true form in response to Renton's plea to help him rescue Eureka.
• The family register lists Eureka as Renton's wife and the kids as his adopted children, even though he is 16 at the time and they hadn't formally married (although, they do so in the sequel and even have biological children).
• This is the the final episode of the orignal Eureka seveN series.
• Renton and Eureka share their first and second kiss in this episode, and it will be the only time this will be shown in Eureka Seven and Eureka Seven: AO.
